A quick introduction: Ohio Knife is bombastic rock n’ roll. Jason Snell’s raspy, two-toned vocals and trashy guitar using off-the-beaten-path tunings may be the driving force for this sonic onslaught—but that truck’s pulling a full load of assdropping drums and enough booming fuzzed-out organ to make you lose a filling.
What attracted you to music? Rock and Roll. Annoying my friends and family at an early age with a guitar led me to create. Create art and music, and its where my passion is today.
What are your sources of inspiration? The underdog. Seeing an unexpected victory by people in lower places make it by working there ass o! and the journey of getting better.
What would your dream gig be? Opening for Queens of the Stone Age, then collaborating with QOTSA and all the Desert Session fellas.
What are your thoughts about the NXNE platform? I like it, we were asked on the first wave, means we’re doing something right and that NXNE is doing something amazing.
Interesting points others don’t know about you? I own a small creative shop in Over the Rhine, Cincinnati. (WeHaveBecomeVikings.com)
